Have you always dreamed of smelling as piquant as an old 1980s game console? Congratulations, British company Andrews has the product for you. Even though it might sound like a joke at first glance, these "premium perfumes" are the real deal, released in a limited edition and inspired by some of the dustiest classic machines: the C64, Spectrum, ZX80, and ZX81.
Each 100 ml bottle of "fine fragrance" will sell for around £30, though sadly only in the UK. The scents vary in character: spray yourself with C64 Pour Homme and you'll exude a powerful, sophisticated musk of citrus, florals, and patchouli. Prefer Spectrum? Expect vibrant bergamot, woody notes, and a deep musk. ZX80 aims for an elegant, slightly feminine vibe, while ZX81 promises "aromatic freshness" with leather and lavender.
The idea of these retro-inspired scents is enough to make any nostalgic gamer weak at the knees. They hit UK shelves just in time for the Christmas rush, perfect for that old-school nerd in your life. Which fragrance would you pick?
